This year, New Orleans’ Tulane University takes the No. 1 spot. Tulane was No. 1 on Princeton Review’s party list only once before: In 1992, when the very first list was published for the 1993 edition.

“People are definitely partiers. If you’re not going out at least twice a week you’re in the minority,” reads a student quote from the 2018 edition. “Intelligence is well respected. What do we do for fun? We party. But we don’t just get drunk. We party with a purpose.”

Bucknell and Wisconsin-Madison are the only other academic schools on the list. So, quite an accomplishment for our Tulane, USN&WR Academic no. 39 and Princeton no.1 Party School; only in New Orleans, only at Tulane!

When I was an undergrad, I remember Playboy Magazine did a "Top Party Schools" article (one of the few I read in that publication!) At the end of the article they had a footnote about Tulane. It read something like "We omit Tulane from the list because it's not fair to compare professionals to amateurs."

That being said, at $70k/year, I would hope the kids value their time in the classroom. I did my fair share (and then some) of partying as an undergrad. But, having worked my way through and paying a good portion myself, I very rarely missed class. A lot of sweat and hustle went into my degree, and it wasn't due to the two years I spent as a (founding) member of the Tulane Hockey club.
